Is The Old Man and the Sea a hard read?

Not a difficult read at all, I’d definitely recommend it. I started reading it a while ago and after more or less half of the book I had to stop, because I found it boring, too. I’d like to finish it, though, ’cause everyone seems to think it’s great. The point is not the end but the journey.

Is The Old Man and the Sea boring?

While reading it, the story was one of the most boring stories I’d read in a long time. Not because the story is inherently boring, and not because I’ve been desensitized to small, intimate stories because of how flashy fiction has become in the last few decades (please don’t send Martin Scorsese after me).

Why is The Old Man and the Sea famous?

Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea does both. It succinctly presents a challenging question while exploring several themes that provide insight to man’s role, suffering without complaint, and humanity’s place in the world. Author notoriety as well as literary analysis and an examination of meaning can make a classic.
